There are moments we look back on through life

Times when we should have taken a chance

Instead of walking away

Blame it on age or sheer stupidity

Possibly a lack of courage

No matter the reason

The choice was our own to make

It's hard to spend your life with regrets

Wondering what could have been

When what should have been was right in front of you

They say hindsight is 20/20

That could possibly be the truth

For what I had all along

Is what I walked away from

Leaving behind the man I loved with all my heart

Blame it on fear or simply shame

Possibly a lack of confidence

No matter the reason

My choice should have been different

I left you behind

I walked away

And what could have been

What should have been

I stole away from the both of us

Spending years trying to forgive myself

Wishing I could get that moment back

Would I have stayed

Would I have walked away

I can't pretend to know the answer

All I do know is this

The years we lost with each other

We have a chance to make up for

Life brought you back to me

Fate led me into your arms once again

The chance I should have taken long ago

Is the one that I will be taking now

For I am no longer young

No longer afraid

My eyes are finally open

To see you standing in front of me

My heart has ached for long enough

A pain that I have caused myself

A pain you have also shared

From this day on

What could have been

What should have been

Is what will be

This is my promise to you

One I should have made long ago
